Luxury Upper West Side Duplex Rental with Four Private Terraces
Bathed in soft natural light, this dramatic two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath duplex rental offers soaring nearly 12-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, oversized windows with tree-lined views, and approximately 150 square feet of private outdoor space across four separate terraces. Located in a coveted Upper West Side prewar cooperative, this spacious home is designed for gracious, elevated living.
The main level features a grand 20" x 23" living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and two full-height doors leading to twin terraces - ideal for quiet mornings, evening entertaining, or a private moment of escape. The open-concept chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional, complete with a large center island, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances, including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, Viking, and a built-in microwave. A windowed dining area, powder room, and coat closet complete this level.
Upstairs, the private quarters offer a true retreat. The primary suite includes custom floor-to-ceiling closets, built-in desk, spa-like ensuite bath, and a private terrace. The second bedroom is generously sized with its own terrace and an adjacent spa-like bath featuring a deep soaking tub and separate laundry area with large washer and dryer. The elevator serves both levels of the home for added convenience.
Built in 1925, this boutique 16-residence cooperative is located just one block from Central Park in the heart of the Upper West Side. With the B and C trains, the American Museum of Natural History, Hayden Planetarium, and Manhattan's top cultural and shopping destinations within easy reach, this is quintessential New York living.
Ideally positioned in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, the home also offers convenient access to the scenic beauty of Riverside Park, renowned gourmet markets such as Zabar's and Citarella, and a dynamic dining scene featuring Essential by Christopher, La Pecora Bianca, and the popular wine bar Le Vin Cur.
